Valentine's Day

What does Valentine's Day mean to you?

Different things for different people:

1. Gift Shop / Cafe / Restaurant Owners - A lot of money!

2. Political Workers - A day when we get media attention for harassing young couples under the pretext of protecting our culture, while our bosses are busy watching porn in the Assembly or getting caught in sleaze scandals.

3. Pretentious Single Guys/Girls - A day when we criticize couples for acting stupid while secretly wishing that we weren't single.

4. Non-Pretentious Single Guys/Girls - A day when we help our Gift Shop / Cafe / Restaurant Owner buddies by encouraging couples to celebrate V-day

5. Pretentious Couples - A day when we act more pretentiously than normal and think it's cool!

6. Sensible Couples - A day when other couples are busy showing other people how much in love they are by wearing similar color clothes, while we get busy showing each other how much in love we are by having raunchy sex!

7. People who don't give a fuck - A day we don't give a fuck about!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Market

The Market... I've used this term a lot with my friends off late, and I thought it's time to share it on my blog. It all starts with a simple question - Are You In The Market?

It encompasses a whole lot of sub-questions. To say yes to the above question directly implies all the sub-questions. A "no" to the question is ambiguous because that can mean a 'no' to any or all of the sub-questions.

"Are You In The Market?" implies:

1. Are you single?
2. Are you available?
3. Are you looking around?

Now we come to a different but related topic of interest - The Market.
The Market is composed of any or all sites that are possible areas for meeting people who Are In The Market.
A very important point, The Market does not involve buying or selling as such... it's just called The Market. Generally; Market zones are clubs, discos, cafes etc.

It's pretty difficult to ask all the 3 sub-questions to a person of the opposite gender in whom you have an interest. If a girl is single, she may not still be available; if a guy is single, he may not be looking for someone [this happens very rarely, and such guys are either really awesome or really sucky], and other such combinations of reasons may be present. So asking a simple question about one's Market status can result in finding out a lot in a single stroke.

So, Are You In The Market?
